This article focuses on two texts of the Stromateis by Clement of Alexandria (Str. I 21,143 and VI 7,57,4). Although their subjects are completely different (Str. I 21,143 deals with animals’ language while Str. VI 7,57,4 concerns angels’ language), both of them are relevant for Clement’s apologetic and for his doctrine of the soul. I have first analyzed their contents and afterwards I took into consideration Clement’s receiving of several scriptural passages (e.g. 1 Cor 1,24.30) and ancient Christian texts (e.g. Kerygma Petrou), which I investigated in the framework of his psychology.

I have first analyzed their contents and afterwards I took into consideration Clement’s receiving of several scriptural passages (e.g. 1 Cor 1,24.30) and ancient Christian texts (e.g. Kerygma Petrou), which I investigated in the framework of his psychology.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
